    This was a new client who recently picked up this 2002 Z06 Corvette from the States. It was not well looked after considering how hard Vette paint is to begin with. I was sent a few photos and knew I had a battle on my hands. So I brought along Hamza to help with the process as I only had a single day to try and make this car look better. I think we did alright, except for the water etch that was buried deep into the paint.
    Stuff used
    ONR
    Autowerkes medium Clay
    New wheel cleaner
    Solvent free dressing
    Permanon Platinum
    Buffers, polishes and lots of sweat labour.
    The start

    All done, not perfect but a solid 19 man hours went into it.

    Here is some 50/50's I was able to capture. This was after the first compounding step but before the haze clearing step

    looks good. That paint isnt easy to work on. My 02 is Red and i used Megs 105 and 205 with a Flex Dual action (CCS orange pad(to cut) and White pad to (clean up haze). What polish did you end up using??
